Key Facts

Situated in the heart of the country, Bankass lies within the broader Sahelian zone of West Africa, characterized by its transitional climate between the Sahara Desert to the north and the more humid savannas to the south. The cercle covers an area of approximately 8,840 square kilometers and serves as an important administrative and economic center for the surrounding rural communities. According to recent estimates, Bankass has a population of around 263,000 people, primarily composed of ethnic groups such as the Dogon, Fulani, and Bambara who have historically inhabited this area. The region is administratively divided into 12 communes, each representing smaller settlement areas and villages that fall under Bankass's jurisdiction. The landscape features the Bandiagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that runs through parts of the cercle, providing both cultural significance and dramatic geological formations.
